I am interested in books/novels/memoirs written by ONLY ex-military servicemen and women, for my own public enlightenment...even if you choose to email me confidentialally @ combs.mandy @ gmail.com... of course this may be spied upon, so BEWARE! However, I could give a $hit less. Yet, upon my word as an ex-army service woman no names will EVER be released by me. As you know, "my word and guarantee"
are more dense than DU!

"Blood on the Risers" is a good one, and "Recondo" is another.

I am an ex-Navyman, served in Vietnam for 7 years...and have prepared a manuscript for publication but the market is not great...some publishers say they don't make money on such books....only Chuck Norris, or Segal type action books...if you would enjoy reading it, email me back and then we can get together. It is not horror, if anything just the comedy of the prolonged engagement. Fortunately, I traveled the country in various overt and covert jobs...

On killing is great military book. It is written by a retired Col. It goes in detail what the human must do to kill and the effects it has on the mind. Starts with the civil war all the way to current day. you should really check it out

The most accurate book that I have read in regards to combat was a book by a retired Col. who served in Vietnam. It was made into a movie, but the book was far better.

Why not just go to a public library and ask the librarian for assistance.
